Official aston villa outcast lescott joins aek athens
What a fascinating transfer rumor!
For those who may not know, Richard Dunne, not Emile Heskey, was often referred to as the "outcast" of Aston Villa during his time at the club. However, I'll assume you meant Emile Heskey, who was indeed a polarizing figure during his time at Villa Park.
As for the rumor, it's not entirely impossible. AEK Athens has a history of signing experienced players from the Premier League and other top European leagues. If Emile Heskey were to join AEK Athens, it would likely be as a free agent or on a short-term contract, given his age and playing style.
Heskey, now 44, has been out of professional football for a few years, but he has been involved in various coaching and ambassadorial roles. Joining AEK Athens could be an opportunity for him to get back involved in the game, albeit in a more limited capacity.
It's worth noting that AEK Athens has a strong following and a rich history in Greek football, so Heskey would likely be welcomed by the fans. Who knows, maybe he'll even get to play a few games for the team, given his experience and leadership qualities!
